Veterans Affairs Regional Offices


Veterans Affairs is a Cabinet-level executive branch department of the federal government charged with providing lifelong healthcare services to eligible military veterans at the 170 VA medical centers and outpatient clinics located throughout the country. Non-healthcare benefits include disability compensation, vocational rehabilitation, education assistance, home loans, and life insurance. The VA also provides burial and memorial benefits to eligible veterans and family members at 135 national cemeteries.


Whether the veteran is just getting out of the service or they’ve been a civilian for years now, the Veterans Affairs Welcome Kit can help guide them to the benefits and services they’ve earned.

Every veteran transitioning into a new area should visit the VA Regional Office to confirm their eligibility and update any information that otherwise might not be available including submitting an ‘Intent to File’ for any claims for VA Disability or other VA – related programs. Veterans Service Officers are responsible for filing a claim for disability and VA Regional is responsible for associated benefits and compensation. The veteran should make a conscious effort to keep engaged with the VA while in the shelter system or while transitioning.
